LIMA, Peru (AP) -- Doctors in Peru have found a ``parasitic twin'' in the stomach of a 3-year-old boy, and plan to surgically remove the tissue Monday.
Dr. Carlos Astocondor of the medical team at Las Mercedes Hospital in the northern port of Chiclayo says the condition occurs in about one of every 500,000 live births.
He says the partially formed fetus weighs a pound and a half (700 grams) and is nine inches (25 centimeters) long.
Astocondor says the brain, heart, lungs and intestines never developed after the fetus was absorbed by the other fetus inside the mother's womb. He says it has some hair on the cranium, eyes and some bones.

헉! 3살 아기 뱃속에 ＇기생 태아＇ 살아
세살 아기의 뱃속에서 또 다른 태아가 발견됐다.
페루 라스 메르세데즈 병원 의료진은 갓 3살이 된 남자 아기의 뱃속에서 25cm 크기에 무게 700g의 태아가 발견됐다고 발표했다.
이 태아는 ‘기생 태아’에서 발달이 멈춘 뇌와 심장이 함께 성장 중인 머리카락과 눈, 척추를 가지고 있으며 의료진은 조만간 제거 수술을 진행할 것이라고 밝혔다.
병원 관계자는 이와 같은 기생 쌍둥이가 생길 확률은 5십만 분의 1에 불과할 정도로 매우 희귀한 케이스라고 설명했다.
